Sudan, located in northeastern Africa, is Africa's largest country. Sudan is predominantly an arid (dry), desert land except immediately around the Nile River, which flows northward through central and eastern Sudan.

Sudan gained independence from Britain in 1956, but became embattled in civil war for much of the second half of the twentieth century. The first civil war ended in 1972, but the region had only about a decade before a second civil was broke out in 1983 and continued until January 2005. The wars were rooted in strife between the Arab Muslims in the north who control the political, economic, and social web of the country, and the people of the southern region, where the country's oil resources are located. The southern people are Christian.

Why have the borders drawn under the Sykes-Picot agreement caused so much trouble in the MIddle East?

The borders delineated by the implementation of Sykes-Picot were not reflective of the actual ethnic and religious groups on the ground. Some groups were split between different states, like the Kurds, between French Syria, British Iraq, and Turkey, and some groups were pushed together unnaturally into states like Syria, which houses Alawites, Sunni Muslims, Druze, Christians, and Ismaili Shiite Muslims.
